AMENDED AND RESTATED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

AMENDED AND RESTATED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT, dated as of November 30, 2009, between STAR PUBLISHING COMPANY ("STAR"), an Arizona corporation, and CITIZEN PUBLISHING COMPANY ("CITIZEN"), an Arizona corporation.

This Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership Agreement") amends and restates a Partnership Agreement entered into by STAR and CITIZEN as of December 22, 1988 (the "Original Agreement").

(b) The termination of any such civil or criminal action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that any such member of the Board of Directors or officer did not act, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interest of the Partnership or that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 

(c) For the purpose of this Section 3.5, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be considered fines; and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such person's duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.

(d) Indemnification under this Section 3.5 shall be made by the Partnership in any specific case only:

(i) if the beneficiary thereof shall have prevailed in an action or proceeding brought against him or shall have been found to have acted in compliance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 3.5; or

(ii) by the Board of Directors upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 3.5 has been met by such member or officer.

(e) The Partnership shall pay a member of the Board of Directors or officer's expenses in advance of a final disposition of a proceeding, if the director or officer furnishes the Partnership with a written affirmation of the member's or officer's good faith belief that the member or officer has met the standard of conduct described in this Section 3.5 and the member or officer furnishes the Partnership with a written undertaking executed personally, or on the member's or officer's behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the member or officer did not meet the standard of conduct described in this Section 3.5.

(f) The Partnership shall have the power, but shall not be obligated, to purchase and maintain insurance:

4.    TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS.

4.1 Prohibited Transfers. Except as expressly permitted by Sections 4.2 or 4.5 hereof, neither Partner may transfer any of its right, title or interest in or to its Partnership Interest, in whole or in part. No attempted transfer of any Partnership Interest in violation of any provision of this Partnership Agreement shall be effective to pass any right, title or interest thereof, but shall instead be null, void and of no effect. For the avoidance of doubt, a change of control of the ultimate parent of a Partner shall not be deemed to be a transfer of a Partnership Interest.

4.2 Transfer to Affiliate. Subject to Section 4.3 hereof, a Partner (the "Transferor Partner") may transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any Affiliate of the Transferor Partner. As used in this Partnership Agreement, an "Affiliate" is a Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Person specified.

4.3 Conditions to Transfer. Any transfer made under Section 4.2 hereof is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) the transferee shall be admitted as a Partner of the Partnership and the Partners shall cause this Partnership Agreement to be amended accordingly;

(b) the transferee shall in writing assume and agree to perform all of its duties and obligations as a Partner under this Partnership Agreement and under the Management Agreement; and

(c) the Transferor Partner (and any Affiliate that directly or indirectly wholly owns the Transferor Partner) shall agree fully to indemnify on an after tax basis the other Partner against any adverse tax consequences to the other Partner that may result from any termination of the Partnership for tax purposes on account of such transfer.

4.4 Change of Control. Neither control of Star or Citizen, nor the assets or business of The Arizona Daily Star and La Estrella (including, but not limited to, any of the assets referenced in Sections 1.2(b)(1)-(4) of the Management Agreement, whether owned by Star or any Affiliate of Star) (collectively, the "Star TNI Assets"), nor the assets or business of Citizen (including, but not limited to, any of the assets referenced in Sections 1.3(b)(1)-(4) of the Management Agreement, whether owned by Citizen or any Affiliate of Citizen) (collectively, the < /font>"Citizen TNI Assets") (the Star TNI Assets or the Citizen TNI Assets, as the case may be, or a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of Star or Citizen, as the case may be, is referred to herein as the "Ownership Interest"), shall be Transferred to any other Person unless (a) the 

transferee assumes all obligations of Star or Citizen, as the case may be, under the Management Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the applicable License Agreement; and (b) the transferor has complied with the procedures of Section 4.5 hereof and first offers to sell such Ownership Interest to the other Partner pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5 hereof; provided that Section 4.5 hereof shall not be applicable with respect to any Transfer of an Ownership Interest to an Affiliate of the transferor. Any purported Transfer in violation of this Section 4.4 shall be null, void and of no effect. Neither Star nor Citizen shall Transfer any of its right, title and interest in the Management Agreement or in its Partnership Interest in the Partnership except (i) as part of a transaction permitted by Section 4.2 hereof or (ii) as p art of a transaction permitted by Section 4.5 hereof in which control of Star or Citizen, or all or substantially all of the Star TNI Assets or the Citizen TNI Assets, as the case may be, are being Transferred. For purposes of this Section 4.4, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest or change of control shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a change of control, directly or indirectly, of the ultimate parent of Star or Citizen, as the case may be, or of Pulitzer Inc. As used in this Section 4.4, "Transfer" and "Transferred" shall include a sale, lease, assignment or other disposition or a license which adversely impacts the Partnership's use of the applicable asset.    

4.5 Right of First Refusal.

(a) A Partner or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the "Offering Partner") who has received a firm, written, bona fide offer from a third-party for its Partnership Interest and/or its Ownership Interest, in whole or in part ( a "Third Party Offer") shall, before agreeing to accept such offer for such Partnership Interest and/or Ownership Interest (in each case, the "Offered Interest"), give written notice to the other Partner (the "Option Partner") of such offer, including a copy of such Third Party Offer and a complete description thereof including, by way of example but not of limitation, the nature and extent of such Third Party Offer, the purchase price therein, the terms of payment and the time for performance.

(b) Upon receiving the Offering Partner's written notice pursuant to Section 4.5(a), the Option Partner shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the date of receipt by the Option Partner of the Offering Partner's notice to elect to purchase the Offered Interest at the price determined in accordance with Section 4.5(e). If the Option Partner desires to purchase the Offered Interest, it shall give written notice to the Offering Partner in the manner set forth in Section 8.11 hereof within such 30-day period. To be effective, this notice must be received by the Offering Partner within such 30-day period. In no event may the Option Partner elect to acquire less than all of the Offered Interest.

(c) The closing of the sale and purchase of the Offered Interest shall be promptly completed, but in any event, to the extent practicable, within ninety (90) days after the receipt of the Option Partner's notice of acceptance (or such later date as necessary to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals). The Board of Directors shall assist in coordinating the closing. At the closing, the Offering Partner shall sell the Offered Interest, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and execute and deliver such assignment(s), deed(s), bills of sale and all other documents or 

other instruments of assignment or conveyance necessary to effect and evidence the assignment. At the closing, the Option Partner shall deliver to the Offering Partner cash, a certified or official bank check or shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the applicable purchase price.

(d) If the Option Partner does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Interest pursuant to this Section 4.5 and the transaction satisfies all of the requirements of Section 4.4 hereof, then the Offering Partner shall be free to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Offered Interest to the third party pursuant to the Third Party Offer for an amount equal to Fair Market Value of the Offered Interest, as hereunder determined, within six months after the date of the Option Partner's notice of refusal or after the expiration of the 30-day response period, whichever occurs first; provided that, (i) if the transfer includes a transfer of a Partnership Interest, the prospective purchaser must satisfy each of the conditions in Section 4.3 hereof; and (ii) if the transfer includes the transfer of an Ownership Interest, the prospective purchaser must assu me all obligations of Star or Citizen, as the case may be, under the Management Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the applicable License Agreement. If a sale is not consummated within such six-month period for any reason, then the Offered Interest shall remain subject to the restrictions of this Partnership Agreement and must again be first offered to the Option Partner if the Offering Partner thereafter wishes to sell its Partnership Interest and/or its Ownership Interest to a third party.

(e) (i) If the consideration offered by the prospective purchaser is offered in cash and/or a promissory note or other similar instrument to be issued by the prospective purchaser, the price shall be the price offered by such prospective purchaser. If the consideration offered by the prospective purchaser is offered in a form other than cash and/or a promissory note or other similar instrument, then the price shall be the Fair Market Value of the Offered Interest, as defined below.

(ii) For the purposes of this Partnership Agreement, "Fair Market Value of the Offered Interest" shall be the amount that would be paid for the Offered Interest by a willing buyer to a willing seller. The Offering Partner and the Option Partner may mutually agree as to the Fair Market Value of the Offered Interest in question. If the Offering Partner and the Option Partner are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value of the Offered Interest within fifteen (15) days after the Offering Partner's written notice of the proposed sale, then in such event the Fair Market Value of the Offered Interest shall be determined pursuant to Section 4.5(e)(iii) by two independent qualified appraisers, one to be appointed by the Offering Partner and the other to be appointed by the Option Partner.

(iii) The two independent appraisers shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Option Partner of the notice of proposed sale. If either side fails to appoint an appraiser within such period, then its right to do so shall lapse and the appraisal made by the one independent appraiser who is timely appointed shall be the Fair Market Value of the Offered Interest. If two appraisals are made, and if the two appraised values differ by less than 10 percent, the Fair Market Value of the Offered Interest shall be the average of the two appraisals; and if the two appraised values differ by more than 10 percent, the two appraisers shall jointly select a third appraiser and the Fair Market Value of the Offered Interest shall be the average of the two of the three appraisal s that are closest together in amount. All appraisals shall be made within thirty (30) days of appointment of an appraiser, and written notice of the results of such appraisals shall be given to all parties within such 30-day period. In making any appraisal hereunder, all debts and liabilities shall be taken into account. Each side shall pay the fees of the appraiser selected by it and the Partners will each pay one-half of the fees of any third appraiser that may be selected pursuant to this paragraph.

(c) If, within thirty (30) days after service of the demand for arbitration, the parties are unable to agree upon and mutually appoint a single arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person and is willing to serve, then the parties shall provide for the appointment of a panel of three Disinterested Persons to resolve the matter or matters in controversy, as follows:

(i) Each of STAR and CITIZEN shall name an arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person. Should the demanding party fail to name an arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person within fifteen (15) days of the lapse of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, the demanding party's right to arbitration of the specific matter or matters in controversy shall lapse. Should the other party fail to name an arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person within the same fifteen (15) day period, then the matter or matters in controversy shall be determined by the Disinterested Person appointed by the demanding party, acting as a single arbitrator.

(ii) In turn, the two arbitrators so named shall name a third arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person. Should the two arbitrators, within thirty (30) days after having been named as arbitrators as provided herein, fail to name a third arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person and is willing to serve, then the demanding party, within thirty (30) days of the lapse of the aforesaid thirty (30) days, either alone or together with the other party, may apply to the presiding judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, sitting in Tucson, or if he refuses, within fifteen 

(15) days of such refusal, to the Senior Judge of the Pima County Superior Court, Tucson, Arizona, to designate and appoint a third arbitrator, from a list of six names submitted with the application to the court. The list shall contain the names of three Disinterested Persons specified by each of the two arbitrators. The three arbitrators shall decide the matter or matters in controversy by majority vote. If the demanding party fails to make application to the court for designation and appointment of a third arbitrator within the specified time period (which shall include the names of three Disinterested Person designated by the arbitrator named by it), the demanding party's right to arbitration of the specific matter or matters in controversy shall lapse. If the other party fails to join in the applica tion to the court or to furnish the names of three Disinterested Persons designated by the arbitrator named by it, then the matter or matters in controversy shall be determined by the Disinterested Person initially appointed by the demanding party, acting as a single arbitrator.

(d) The decision of a single arbitrator shall be rendered in writing within thirty (30) days after his appointment, and where three arbitrators are acting said decision shall be rendered in writing within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator; provided, however, additional time to render a decision may be taken by the arbitrator or arbitrators as he, she or they may deem reasonably necessary under the circumstances. The written decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall be final and shall be binding upon the parties and the Partnership. All expenses and compensation of the arbitrator or the arbitrators, as the case may be, in connection with any matter or matters in controversy shall be paid by the Partnership. No arbitrator(s) shall determine or have the power to determine whether any party is in breach of an y obligation under this Partnership Agreement or any other agreement, it being the intention of the parties that the sole function of the arbitration process described in this Section 6.3 is to provide a mechanism to break a deadlock at the Board of Directors of the Partnership on matters that are appropriately before the Board and that are within the power and authority of the Board of Directors pursuant to this Partnership Agreement.

6.4 From and after the occurrence of a Default, if the Board of Directors is evenly divided with respect to any proposed Operating Decision, as defined in Section 9 hereof, or is unable to meet for failure to obtain a quorum with respect to any proposed Operating Decision, then any such Operating Decisions shall be made solely by the Non-Defaulting Partner, as defined in Section 9 hereof, and such decisions shall be binding on the Partnership and the Defaulting Partner, as defined in Section 9 hereof.

7.    DURATION; TERMINATION

7.1 Dissolution of Partnership. The Partnership shall continue until dissolved as herein provided. Except as provided in Section 7.2 hereof, no Partner shall cause the Partnership to be dissolved without the prior written consent of the other Partner. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.3 hereof shall apply, as the case may be.

7.2 Termination; Dissolution of the Partnership.

(a) This Partnership Agreement shall terminate only upon expiration of its term, including any renewals thereof, as provided in and subject to Section 1.4 hereof.

(b) No Partner shall cause the Partnership to be dissolved except as provided in this Section 7.2(b), and the Partnership shall continue unless the Partnership is dissolved and liquidated in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof. The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(i) expiration of the term of this Partnership Agreement, including any renewals thereof, as set forth in Section 1.4 hereof; or

(ii) the Bankruptcy, as defined in Section 9 hereof, of a Partner; or

(iii) the occurrence of any other event specified under the Arizona Revised Uniform Partnership Act as one effecting a dissolution.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2(b) above, the Partnership shall not be dissolved as a result of the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 7.2(b)(ii) or (iii) (each, a "Default") if, within 90 days of such Default (or, if later, within 20 business days after receipt by the Non-Defaulting Partner of notice of such Default from the Defaulting Partner), the remaining Partners, which for this purpose shall include the Non-Defaulting Partner and any transferee of the Non-Defaulting Partner, unanimously agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership.

(d) A Defaulting Partner shall give notice to the Non-Defaulting Partner of a Default within 10 business days of such Default.

No termination of this Partnership Agreement or dissolution of the Partnership shall be construed to release any Partner from liability at law or in equity to the other Partner or the Partnership arising out of any breach of the terms of this Partnership Agreement or the Management Agreement.

7.3 Closing of Affairs. If both this Partnership Agreement and the Management Agreement terminate upon expiration of their term, including any renewals thereof, or in the absence of an election pursuant to Section 7.2(c) to continue the business of the Partnership, then:

(a) STAR and CITIZEN will meet with each other and use their best efforts to develop a just and equitable plan for discontinuing and dissolving the Partnership, distributing its assets in kind between STAR and CITIZEN (after payment of all indebtedness and liabilities of the Partnership and all costs of dissolution and liquidation) equally to STAR and CITIZEN, and partitioning on an equal basis all capital assets used or held for use by the Partnership, so as to enable either STAR and CITIZEN to separately publish the Products, as independent businesses (a "Distribution Plan"). If STAR and CITIZEN agree on a Distribution Plan, the assets of the Partnership shall be distributed, and said capital assets shall be partitioned, in accordance with the Distribution Plan, the Licens es granted pursuant to Sections 1.2(b)(1) and 1.3(b)(1) of the Management Agreement shall automatically expire and terminate, and the Partnership shall thereupon be dissolved. Except as provided in the Distribution Plan and upon the effective distribution of assets by the Partnership pursuant thereto, neither STAR nor CITIZEN shall have any separate right, title or interest in or to any asset of the Partnership.

(b) If STAR and CITIZEN are unable to agree upon a Distribution Plan, or if the Partnership's assets are not sufficient to pay all of its indebtedness and liabilities and all costs of dissolution and liquidation, the business affairs and assets of the Partnership shall be liquidated as promptly as possible and receivables collected, all in an orderly and businesslike manner so as not to involve undue sacrifice, and the assets of the Partnership and the capital assets used or held for use by the Partnership shall be converted into cash and all of its indebtedness and liabilities paid. In the event there is a cash surplus available for distribution, the surplus will be distributed equally to STAR and CITIZEN, and in the event there is a deficiency, the same will be made up by STAR and CITIZEN in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of this Partnership Agreement, and the Partnership shall thereupon be dissolved.

7.4 Withdrawal. Except upon dissolution and liquidation in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof, no Partner shall have the right to withdraw from the Partnership, to require any purchase of its interest in the Partnership under applicable law, or to require that the Partnership return any of a Partner's capital contribution.
